The American soldiers in the
Phillipines still find it convenient

It is now claimed that Harry

Still it must be admitted that

To the Farmers and Stockmen
of Freestone and Limestone counties for the patronage
they have so liberally given to our Bank during the
{>ast year. In spite of the short crops, our business v
ias been entirely satisfactory. We think this is largely
due to the fact that we have in the main confined our
loans t j the PRODUCERS OF MONEY, the Farmer

Don't be in.a hurry to market
all of your cotton; market enough
to supply your immediate necess-

den glut of the market is avoided
the price of the staple can be
made high and steady.—Houston

We would like to know what
has become of "Grandma" Otis,
nee Governor-General of the
Phillipine repuplic. That man
who at all times, had two com-
panies of soldiers as bodyguards;
;he man who actually was afraid
of his shadow.
A. A. Allison was placed1 on
trial a few days ago in the county
court on an indictment found' by
the last grand jury charging him
with buying votes in the late
primaries. The vordictof the jury
was "not guilty." This was re-
garded as a test case, and will
likely result in the work of the
grand jury doing nothing more
than to call attention of the out-
side world to our methods of run-
ning a primary cl ction. Thus
the trial jury vetoes the work of
the grand jury, and designing
politicians are given license to
"keep it up."
In order to stimulate the mar-
tial spirit of young America, and

Speaking of a recent murder trial
We have just returned from a
trip through the north, the states
traveled through being Arkansas,
Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and
the Indian Territory, besides
north Texas. As a general tiling
crops are good, and we, saw corn
enough in Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa and Kansas to supply the
w )rld, while the hay crop in the
Territory is enormous and cotton
looks fine as a rule. North of
St. Louis we encountered a fine
bracing norther and several
showers—a great contrast to the
hot dry weather of Texas, but as
tlie.y have no cotton up there to
bask in the sunshine, showers
are just what they need to finish
making the big corn crop. Tex-
as is a grand old 9tate, but there
are several others, only they are
a little smaller.

The annual editorial advice to
the farmers to place "only a cer-
tain proportion of his cotton crop
on the maiket each week" is
again occupying space in the
newspapers—and that's about all
it does —Corsicana Daily Sun.
Yes, for the farmer always
rushes hi3 cotton in, which causes
the market to go down, and then
when he has sold all of his cotton
the market goes up and the
speculators reap the reward.
